A night of FREE film featuring the best documentaries
around exposing the scandal of poverty.
Saturday 16th April - 12am
Screen 1
The YES Men (15)
When Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno created a parody of the World
Trade Organisation?s (WTO) website, invitations meant for the real WTO
started to flood. Suddenly the YES Men found themselves attending
functions as WTO representatives. The film follows the anti-corporate
activist-pranksters as they impersonate the WTO spokesmen on TV and
at conferences around the world.
Screen 2
Life and Debt (PG)
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Paris Human Rights Film
Festival, the film tells the story of the impact that the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have had on Jamaica. The film is a powerful look at the effect that their policies have on the lives of ordinary people across the island.
Saturday 16th April - 1.30am
Screen 1
The Take
Special preview showing
Join us for this very special showing of acclaimed author Naomi Klein?s new film. In the wake of Argentinan economic collapse, 30 men walk back into their factory and refuse to leave. All they want to do is get their machines to work again. Their simple action of defiance ?the take? has the power to turn the globalisation debate on its head.
Entrance to the all films is FREE
Admittance is on a first-come first-served basis.
Christian Aid and Odeon Cinemas reserve the right to refuse admittance.
Part of the Trade Justice Wake Up! event.
